New Fake plug

I bought some Mills No 5's from the Somme at the weekend and one had an old aluminium plug on it. When I got home I cleaned it up and found it to be one of the fakes sold a few years ago. This one looks to have been buried and aged a little. The broad arrow is typical of the recent fakes. Buyers beware.
